I checked out the Lens V3 docs last night. It feels like Lens is shifting from a social-first approach to a blockchain-first one.

it's an EVM-compatible blockchain with powerful social features for developers. (AAVE chain 😂)

With the SDK, you can easily build a social network client, even tailored to your audience with a custom graph.

But tech isn’t the core for social networks, it’s content and real people. 

Any social app still faces the challenge of user acquisition and retention to build network effects.

Lens V3 didn't answer for this, it's all left up to developers.

Lens V3 seems to prioritize blockchain over social, lacking focus on user engagement
